Using InVID, a Google Chrome extension, we divided the video into several keyframes and performed a reverse image search on them. This led us to a tweet by a journalist in Kuwait, who had
uploaded the same video on 22 September 2020, before the Asia Cup tournament. The video only showed the man sitting in the audience celebrating and not Pandya's shot. The caption,
originally in Arabic, loosely translates to, "I turned on the phone at the last minute and pointed the camera at Aziz Ashour, president of the Arab Club. Tired, planted, harvested, and
lacked his brothers, members of the board of directors. Congratulations to the Arab, and hard luck to Kuwait." Taking a clue from this, we searched for the president's name and
found that Abdulaziz Ashour is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Al-Arabi Sports Club. We also found an article in _Arab Times_, an English daily in Kuwait, which mentioned that
the Al-Arabi Football Team had won the finals in the Amir Cup held at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium on 21 SEPTEMBER 2020. A report in the_ Kuwait Times_, an Arabian Gulf daily,
also highlighted the victory of the football club in the tournament and had posted some pictures from the post-match ceremony, where the president could be seen. Evidently, an old video of
people celebrating a victory during the Amir cup has been doctored and is now being shared as a recent incident. _(Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it
